We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Get To Know Me
I am the Director of the MSK Center for Hematologic Malignancies. I currently spend the majority of my time in the laboratory investigating the underlying causes of these disorders by studying the genes of patient samples as well as in vitro and in vivo models. As a member of the Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, I have helped to identify and characterize several new genetic abnormalities in the diseases mentioned above. In addition to increasing our understanding of the causes of these disorders, these discoveries have promise in helping to discover targeted therapies.
